The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hello! Excited to have just joined my first cartography site!

I have been a closet cartographer most my life and now im ready to show the world! lol. I draw just about anything you would see from above onto 81/2x11 papers with graphite. To scale and with all respect to how life functions in the real world. My latest project is entitled Pencilvania and consist of about 100 drawings so far! Thanks very much, Daren.
